Reports <code>catch</code> clauses that catch an inappropriate exception.
<p>Some exceptions, for example
  <code>java.lang.NullPointerException</code> or
  <code>java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException</code>, represent programming errors
  and therefore almost certainly should not be caught in production code.
<p><b>Example:</b></p>
<pre><code>
  try {
    return component.getMousePosition(true) != null;
  } catch (NullPointerException e) { // warning: Prohibited exception 'NullPointerException' caught
    return false;
  }
</code></pre>
<!-- tooltip end -->
<p>Use the <b>Prohibited exceptions</b> list to specify which exceptions should be reported.<p>
